Chapter 31 An Absurd Agreement

She remembered that the champion would become the design assistant to the director.

Erin looked at Caleb’s cool yet rather gentle dark eyes. The sincerity in them made her heart skip a beat, and she blushed uncontrollably. She tried hard to collect herself and said warmly, “Mr. Grant, thank you. I’ll try my best in the competition!”

Erin didn’t know what else to say.

She was already forced to become Chandler’s secret lover even before she got divorced. How could she drag Caleb into this?

Caleb looked a little disappointed when he heard what Erin said. He smiled to cover up his true emotions. “You don’t have to give me an

answer now. Go home and think it over.”

Erin nodded rather awkwardly. “I’ll leave then, Mr. Grant.”

“Okay.”

The moment she opened the door, Erin almost crashed into Janette standing near it. Without any expressions on her face, Janette said curtly, “Watch where you’re going. How could you come up with a good design if you’re so careless!”

“I’m sorry, Ms. Williams.” Erin dared not look at Janette, afraid she might notice the slap mark on her face.

Janette scoffed. “Forget it. I’m here to see Mr. Grant. You can go.”

Erin left with her head lowered. When she returned to her desk, she spent her entire day busy at work. Even when it was the end of the day. she still had no plan to leave. Although Caleb had told her that she needed to finish half of the workload, she still wanted to be done with it

as soon as possible.

She worked until about 7 pm and was about to order takeout when lan’s call came.

Erin hesitated for a while before picking up the call. She didn’t expect it to be lan’s mother, Mary.

“Erin, are you back from your business trip yet?” Mary asked. “Where are you? lan’s at home right now. Shall I get him to pick you up?”

Erin was a little taken aback, furrowing her brow. She was in the city, so she didn’t understand what Mary was talking about at that

moment. However, she also didn’t pursue it further. She suddenly recalled that she had to head to her old house to talk to lan about the

divorce that night.

“No need. I can head home on my own.”

“Okay, I’ve already made dinner! Come back and eat! Alright, I’ll hang up now.” Mary chuckled and ended the call.

Erin placed her phone in her bag, saved her documents, and shut off her computer. Quite a few designers were still working late at the time, so she bade them farewell and left.

Ten minutes after Erin left, Dana ran into Caleb at the pantry. She was instantly surprised and pleased, not expecting that her taking the initiative to stay back after work would pay off and that she would be able to bump into him!

“Mr. Grant, are you not leaving yet?” Dana had touched up her makeup in the washroom, so she had a glowing smile on her face.

Caleb was waiting for his coffee by the vending machine. He took one look at her and said, “Hmm. You’re Dana Sawyer, Janette’s

assistant, right?”

Dana smiled even wider. “Yes! You have a great memory, Mr. Grant. I’m merely a lowly new hire, but you remembered me!”
